Dan, Laphroig is readily available in the Albany area. Next time I'm headed to Killington or Sugarbush, I'll let you know and grab a bottle.

I'm a season pass holder for Gore and Whiteface, but love the night life of Killington, and the occasional powder at Sugarbush.

There's a four to five star hotel with bar in North Creek that has the classics, plus many others. That has always been a required stop following a hard day snowboarding. Enjoy.
